BIOGRAPHY
Darius was born on Alderaan but was handed off to the Jedi at a very young age. Specifically, he was left in the care of Bocc, a peace-loving Jedi Guardian who would show him the ways of the Light Side. For years, Bocc trained Darius to be the perfect peacekeeper. He tried his best to make Darius as serious and level-headed as possible, while also teaching him how to defend himself with a lightsaber. Bocc even made it a point to teach Darius about compassion and mercy, and the inner peace that comes with it in an effort to dissuade his student from ever even considering falling to the dark side. Darius quickly picked up on Bocc's teachings, becoming a skilled swordsman and tactician along the way and for 19 or so years, things went swimmingly.
During the 19th year of training, the exiles came for Bocc. After a fierce fight the slew the old Twi'Lek and stole his lightsaber, leaving the grief stricken Darius to mourn his fallen mentor with the promise that they'd be back for him soon. After laying his mentor to rest, he decided that he wasn't going to wait for their return. It was time to go on the offensive. One by one, he hunted the assassins down and killed them, learning that it was far better to be on the offensive in the process. He realized that the only way he could save himself and his order, was to destroy their foes before they had the chance to strike. So, that became his mission to destroy the darksiders before they could destroy the light.
From that point on, Darius made it his mission to eradicate the exiles by any means necessary. Nothing was off limits. Everything was justified so long as exile blood had been spilled in the process and the Jedi lived on. In the following years he picked up more combat skills, learned to use blasters and explosives, and he even learned how to pilot a ship. Now, his mission clear, his skills honed, and mind settled, Darius sets out to save the galaxy from the Jedi Exile threat any way he can.
Personality
Darius is a quiet and serious man. He doesn't joke around much, and when he does it's often not funny. But he doesn't really care. To him, the only things that matter are protecting his comrades and eradicating the exiles. Nothing else has much of a draw on him. Things like civilian casualties and property destruction simply register as expected consequences of war. Because of this, he can come off as very cold to some of his comrades, but he doesn't mind. So long as the war is won, he could care less about his reputation, or even his own life. To him, his mission is everything, and his mission is to save the jedi by eliminating their enemies through any means he can manage. In short, he is stoic, calculated, and entirely focused on his mission, although, he does have a soft spot for his fellow jedi.
While he doesn't really care much for people outside of the order, he treats his fellow knights as if they were his own blood, often risking his own life to keep them safe even if he doesn't know them personally. To him, the order is his family and he will stop at nothing to keep his brothers and sisters alive, even if they would disagree with his methods. The tight bond he has with the order has made him fiercely loyal to the Jedi although that's not to say he agrees with them. He often butts heads with his comrades over the morality of his actions, but he stubbornly maintains that his harsh tactics are what make him effective against the exiles. He likes to fight fire with fire and if the exiles commit some great atrocity, he has absolutely no qualms with repaying them in kind.
Attributes
Darius is quick on his feet and good at making split-second decisions, making him a great lightsaber duelist and an asset in open combat. He has great hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness as well, helping him to maneuver around the battlefield and effectively strike his targets with ease. This however, comes at a price. His skills allow him to avoid strength contests in combat, making him relatively weak compared to most other warriors. If he is forced to block or lock lightsabers with someone, he will easily be overwhelmed and he will either be killed or forced to retreat. Because of this, he relies on dodging incoming attacks or striking before his enemy gets the chance, often resorting to hellish barrages to quickly eliminate his enemies before they can overpower him. In short, Darius is an evasive striker who excels in indirect and/or environmental combat. He's also somewhat skilled with blaster pistols and rifles and will pick up a firearm if he feels it necessary.
As far as his force abilities go, he's very good with sensory and mobility powers but not great with offensive ones. At best, he can manage a simple force push or a telekinetic throw. He can't hold things for very long though, so all of his force attacks are impulsive and cannot change direction after the initial motion. His mobility and reflexes are great though and he can sense nearby entities fairly easily. For example, when he focuses, he's capable of simply dodging light blaster fire or detecting enemies setting up for a nearby ambush. Again, he relies on mobility and awareness to succeed in combat.
